Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Dallas machine and fabrication shop turns photos, sketches, broken parts, or CAD files into custom 3D-printed plastic parts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The workflow accepts imperfect starting material rather than requiring a finished design: a broken component, dimensioned sketch, measured photograph, or CAD file can begin the conversation. Material selection is tied to the part’s environment, with ASA and PETG positioned for outdoor or chemical exposure and carbon-fiber nylon for load-bearing or high-heat situations. Short production runs are described as approximately 10–100 identical pieces, with setup and per-unit pricing.
